Do I need immigration experience to take on a pro bono case?

No. Many of our pro bono attorneys have never worked in the immigration field or appeared in immigration court before. CAIR Coalition offers robust mentoring for every one of our pro bono cases. Each pro bono team is assigned a staff attorney from CAIR Coalition to serve as a mentor from start to finish. This includes providing guidance and samples, review of draft filings, trouble shooting, and help prepping for trial. We also have an excellent Samples Library, accessible to all pro bono teams. Rest assured that when you take a case with CAIR Coalition, we will be with you every step of the way.
